A new promotional video recently released by Dream Bund of Hengdian World Studios shows the tram simulator and dome simulator rides which are both expected to open soon plus new concept art for an upcoming virtual reality ride which seems to be similar to 'The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride' ride at Lionsgate Entertainment World. I like how it has the motorbike and sidecar seating configuration just like Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure:

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism revealed today that Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment recently submitted a plan to postpone the opening of the resort (phase 1 which is not the theme park) from June 2022 to the first half of 2023. The delay is blamed on "construction costs" and COVID-19.

Import records show that a ride manufactured by Sansei Technologies in Japan has been imported to Universal in Orlando. The vague descriptions label the imports as "track column" and "track rail" so the exact ride is not specified. I assume this ride is for Universal's Epic Universe but it could potentially be for Universal Studios or Universal's Islands of Adventure. The imports have taken place as recently as January 8, 2021.

The first ride for Vidanta World, a 40 meter tall Parachute Tower by Intamin, is being imported this week. According to import records, the ride originated of course in Liechtenstein, then was transferred to Germany, then to Texas and now to its final destination in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

I'm not sure when this photo was taken so it might be out of date:The park will be indoors over five levels: Service Level 01, Service Level 02, Attraction Level 03, Attraction Level 04, Attraction Level 5. The theme park is divided into six major areas, Abu Dhabi Ocean, Polar Ocean, Tropical Ocean, Endless Ocean, Sea of Delight and Blue World. In addition to the main building, there are ancillary building outside the main building.
The site is approximately 54 hectares, of which Miral plans to develop approximately two thirds of the area for SWAD at this time. This portion of the site will allow for future expansion of SeaWorld. The remaining one third will be reserved for future development.

Here's a cool photo of Chimelong Marine Science Park from the aerial sightseeing cable car system station construction site:
And now over to Chimelong Marine Science Park where the aerial sightseeing cable car system station can be seen in the distance:
In the photo above do you see something blue in the middle of the entrance plaza? It's a newly installed fountain!
The entrance plaza is beginning to be populated by a lot of joyful sea (and freshwater) critters:
Here's a closeup look at some of them as they were leaving the factory:
One more look at the entrance plaza before going inside:
Not much happening at the orca area just like usual:
The ride area is progressing much faster:
